Memorandum of Understanding between the BSA and ARRL

After working together for nearly a century to provide Scouts with the ability to learn radio communication skills, Boy Scouts of America and the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the national association for Amateur Radio, have officially teamed up by signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU). This MOU designates the ARRL as a key resource for K2BSA and Radio Merit Badge training at the BSA National Scout Jamboree and establishes the ARRL as the go-to source for Scouts interested in learning about and becoming involved in radio communication.

Crew 272, WB9SA, Space Jamboree dot com, ISS Contacts and Astronaut interviews (search "Crew 272 ISS") Says Two Thumbs up to the ARRL for working with Scouts... Watching a young Scout go for from mic shy to Rag Chewing pro is a beautiful thing... To building world-wide relationships and future technologists -- ARRL members and clubs are key to helping Scouts succeed! Scouters, reach out to your local Ham Radio Club, build them a tower to hang antenna's for their field day! Ask for JOTA support..

As the scoutmaster of Troop 51, Tecumseh Council, a Radio Merit Badge counselor, ARRL member, and amateur radio service licensee NY8V, I'm really glad to see this!
